What to wear for a Forest School session

We explore outside in all weathers and across all seasons. Children will need to wear clothes that are suitable for the weather at any time of the year. 

Summer

In warmer weather, please ensure that children are still well covered - long sleeved t-shirts and trousers will help to reduce insect bites and scratches. On extremely hot days a short sleeved t-shirt may be more appropriate. Please ensure your child is wearing a hat and has sun-cream applied to exposed skin. 

Winter 

As the weather turns colder, lots of layers will be essential. Children will not enjoy themselves if they are too cold. Layers can always be removed if they're too warm. We also recommend wearing a hat, gloves and an extra pair of socks.
